Would you give up your rights to a GUN if you knew for certain that it would have saved those 20 Sandy Hook elementary school children?

If we could go back in time - and change the future - the only condition is: GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS TO GUNS.

Would you do it?

I say: No, no I wouldn't. And that would be a painful decision.

Lame. You might as well ask if I would eat my own testicles if they were chopped off and sauteed in cow semen.

You really do fail to understand don't you. The kid was fucked in the head. The gun just added noise to the scenario...if their were no gun involved you'd be reading a story about a kid with a sword, or a knife, or a sharp stick.

People don't realize that the veneer of civilization is very thin, and most of history documents man's violence against man

One can either assume that mankind has changed, that we are now free from greed and violence, or that the same traits are still there, just below the surface

Arms are an insurance policy against that underlying nature resurfacing.

Given any breakdown in the rule of law, any rise in insanity due to financial stress or shortages, I can only think violent outbreaks will increase...just at a time that the local police may be cut or overburdened

Wasn't there just a California city - I think San Bernadino - which told the locals basically they are their own first line of defense now because the city is bankrupt and the police force is being cut?

What then, protect yourself with a slingshot or a box cutter?

Detroit...the off duty cops were passing out flyers warning people that they are at risk because of budget cuts and lack of police...

Quoting: BRIEF

and yet no doubt Detroit will be one of the first to pass extensive gun bans and restrictions

what kind of cognitive dissonance is this ?

Govt to citizens message 1): You're on your own, police are broke and stretched and can't protect you

Govt to citizens message 2): Oh yeah, and by the way, you can't buy the very things which we have which could protect you... good luck figuring it out
